I stopped by with jeans from Old Navy that was doing the gaping (ladies know) but I loved the jeans otherwise and some sweatpants from that that needed hemming. She took a weeks time and they came out great! Specifically the jeans, they fit the way I know they should. I now know clothes don't have to be a lost cause and will bring some other pieces in. Highly recommend! read more

I have unfortunately had a nightmarish experience tailoring my wedding dress. The first tailor basically botched my dress, and then a family friend with tailoring experience helped me out and un-did as much of the tailoring as she was able. After taking my bridal portraits I was very uncomfortable, adjusting my dress constantly, and nearly tripping. I knew I couldn't go like this to my wedding. I called Agape and she told me to bring the dress in the same day and promised a quick turn-around time. I believe the owners name is Joy, and she is so kind and helpful. She made a great suggestion to make me more comfortable in my dress and also took the hem up further so I could walk comfortably. I work early hours, so she agreed to meet me early in the morning on a weekend so that I could get my dress ASAP. She also brought up the neckline on another dress I'm using for my wedding. Her turnaround time is impressive and her pricing is very fair. She does not try to upsell you and will not alter things that she doesn't see necessary. I am so, so, so grateful to her for making me feel comfortable in my wedding dress. I only wish she had been my first stop! I will bring any items I need tailored to Agape in the future. In fact, I already have a 2027 wedding on the calendar, so when I get my dress I'll be back! read more

Joy was kind and did an amazing job! I brought in a bridesmaid dress from birdy grey that was ill fitting and baggy. Joy took in the sides and had it ready in a week. I will be coming back for any future tailoring needs! read more

Found the place because of the reviews to get my dress altered for my wedding, the owner was so nice and friendly and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. She was able to do so much work on the dress in such a short notice. You can tell she has a passion for the work she does and the experience to back it up. She even was kind to make a on site quick change to it when I wanted to add on sleeves. 10000% recommend, and very fairly and affordable priced. read more

Came in to have a dress altered for the Renaissance tour. The dress was a silver halter top with a continuous halter. I'm tall and the dress was shorter than I'd like so I though opening up the halter and adding straps to create a tie would let me lengthen the dress. Luckily for me the lady understood completely! She also had white fabric on hand to create the new halter straps. They were able to complete the dress in a week which was enough time for me sober I didn't wait last second. They have good hours and you can save a lil change if you pay with cash. read more

Agape Alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Joy did an amazing job on my blanket.She stitched two small blankets i bought and made them into a big o blanket.

Excellent quality. Had her make alterations to several coats and she was spot on every time! Very fast as well!

Joy was able to do my dress alterations but I think she overcharge because the alterations were not on point she had to adjust my dress the day I went to pick it up read more

She was incredibly rude on the phone. I simply asked for a ballpark estimate on what it would cost to get a dress fitted and she gave me a rude answer saying how on earth is she supposed to know. I've never gotten a dress fitted before and was trying to get an estimate on what this would cost me. I ended the conversation politely with saying thank you and her response was a huff and she hung up on me. I will not be going here and do not recommend her unless you want someone to make you feel dumb for asking a simple question. read more

Agape Alterations is GREAT took the waist in (waist band & loops) in on 3 pairs of pants, took legs in on 3 pair & hemmed 1 pair. ALL are perfect! Look like they came from the factory, you can't even tell they were altered. Best fit I've ever had . She also hemmed 3 pair of slacks for our Son. Everything was ready when promised (1 week). Her prices are in line with other alteration places & her work is the BEST read more

Owner is kind and respectful. She did the repair earlier than expected during the holidays. Great craftsmanship, easy to park. Will go back. read more

came in with my bridesmaid dress that was a little loose on the bust. Don't judge from the outside! The lady does an amazing job! She knew exactly what I wanted and my total was less than $30! It was ready in one week. It wasn't too big of an alteration but I was glad I my dress just in time for the wedding. I definitely recommend this place to everyone! read more

She did a fantastic job. It was expensive, but I had to have a lot done to my two bridesmaids dresses to make them fit right. She was quick and everything looks perfect. Will definitely be using her again in the future. read more

Agape Alterations - Both dresses looked great! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Very pleased with my experience with Agape. I, too, like other reviewers, came here because of the epic reviews, and was not disappointed. Needed a pair of linen pants altered for a summer beach wedding. Upon arrival, the owner was helping a gentleman, so I took a seat on the couch. She seemed to be flying through the pinning and marking! Then, the gentleman stepped off the block to change into another suit needing alterations, and I was directed to change ...sort of implying - and definitely making me feel "worked in" between the other gentleman's needs. Once changed and up on the block, couldn't have been there more than five minutes. Boy, she's not afraid to give her opinion! I've recently lost weight, and once we discuss length, she bluntly pointed out how baggy the pants looked around my hind-end. She frankly said it looked bad, and they should be altered. I half expected to see my girlfriend standing next to her! Ha! Bottom line: bing - bang - boom: in and out in less than 15 minutes and the pants were ready a week later. Very competitive pricing. My only small complaint: the length came out a tad shorter than I usually like, and tighter around the buttocks than I'm used to, but part of that may be adjusting to form fitting clothes. Overall: definitely recommend. Quick and easy - plus good pricing = worth your time! read more

Great service! Last minute dress alteration for wedding! The ladies there are amazingly kind and helpful.

This place is amazing! I am standing in my friends wedding soon and need my bridesmaid dress taken out. (Sadly) but the sweet lady that works there is nice and helped me out during a stressful time. She was able to get my dress pretty and ready for my friends wedding within one week. I will definitely be back for more alternation needs in the future. (: read more

Joy is a great listener,kind , timely and above all an excellent seamstress . I will continue using her for sure.

Absolutely the best! My formal gowns were beautifully done and completed on a week. Amazing! We definitely will be back for any future alterations. read more

I chose Agape based on the reviews. My wedding dress needed lots of work and I was nervous to take it to just anyone. Joy is not only a seamstress, but also an artist!! She took her God given talent and made my dress beautiful! She takes great pride in her work. I looked over the dress many times and I still cant figure out how she made the alterations look so seamless! The bustle was complicated and I should have brought someone with me to learn. We put the dress on the hanger and she showed me how to do it. Then she made me do it several times to make sure I could teach someone else. The alterations were not cheap, but the wedding boutique shared that with me when I bought the dress so I knew what to expect. Joy meets with the brides before or after hours to give her undivided attention. I will definitely return for all my future alterations! read more

I needed a tailor--a service I rarely have a need for--so I went to Yelp. Folks seem to love this place. After my experience here, I can see why. I had a couple of sport coats I needed to have taken in and to have the sleeves shortened a bit. Nothing major. From what I gather, a fairly easy bit of tailoring. I walked in on a Friday afternoon. No other customers were in the shop at the time. The lady who met me was super friendly. She had me try on the blazers in question and waited for me to tell her what I wanted done. I simply told her that I'd trust her judgement. She made some brief adjustments, had me pay, and told me to pick the jackets up in a week. I went back on the day she promised to find both jackets finished. They fit perfectly. No more boxy, baggy look and the sleeves were just right, she even moved the buttons appropriately. Without having anything else to compare it to, I thought it was a bit on the pricey side for the work done. However, I had zero complaints about the quality of the work, so I feel like that's a proper trade off. In other words, the tailor is well worth the price she charged. I wouldn't hesitate to go back. read more

I love Joy! She is seriously the most kind and helpful person. I needed a few dresses altered at the last minute for a wedding and she was able to work with my timeline and not over charge me. She made sure all the dresses we bought in were perfect. I will be going to her from now on! read more

Joy does a great job on my clothes every time. I get my jeans and pants for work hemmed there and my blouses, the ones with the buttons, I have them sewn closed so they don't open for peek-a-boos. Just bring the shoes you want to wear with the clothes and they will be the perfect length. She is such a sweet lady too! Love her. read more

As someone who has a lot of tailoring done I can attest that a good tailor can be difficult to find - but this place was great! Not from the area and needed a suit tailored on short notice so I went with this option based on all of the good reviews and my expectations were exceeded. Went in on a Friday afternoon and explained I was trying to get my suit tailored and back the next day and they were able to accommodate me. I tapered the legs, raised the break, took in the waist, shortened and tapered the sleeves as well, all with a one day turnaround ..the best part is, the work was EXCELLENT. Went in with a baggy suit and walked out with a slim, modern tailored look - the tailor listened to what I wanted and made it happen. Super friendly service as well, all around I would 10/10 recommend this place to have a suit tailored. read more

I bought some bell bottom pants to wear on my trip to Cancun for my birthday and I was leaving the next day. I called an hour and a half before closing and she asked how quickly I needed them. She had them ready for me IN 30 MINUTES THE SAME DAY!!! I was ecstatic!!! This made my trip that much better. THANK YOU!!! read more

I came here when buying a suit off the rack and needed some major adjustments. As soon as I walked through the door, the owner greeted me and had me change into the suit and started measuring within about 5 to 6 minutes with help from a 3 mirror 180 degree setup. After she took a few quick notes, she said it would be a pretty easy fix for her since she's been doing this a long time and told me to come back in about 4 to 5 days. All in all, my suit alterations costed about $50 to $60, most of that coming from some jacket changes that needed to be made. Once I came back and tried on the suit, it looked great and it fit even better than I expected. Her customer service is fantastic, she's very friendly and helped me to look great for my special day. She wasn't the cheapest tailor I've been to but when getting alterations, you don't wanna go cheap! I will come back to her for alterations for a long time I'm sure. read more

Agape Alterations - This is the suit I got altered from Agape. They did a fantastic job. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I love the Alterations Specialist here! I've taken her a few items and all have come out looking perfect. She helped with a jumpsuit which I knew would be a lot of work and she was able to get it done quickly and charged decently for what was needed (I'll try to post a pic once I wear it). I think I found my new alterations place in SA read more

So happy with my choice to use Agape alterations! I came in with a bridesmaids dress that needed hem only. Due to COVID I called before walking in. She had a dressing room for me, she added her pins and I walked out of there in 10 minutes tops. She called me a week later that the dress was ready and to pick it up at my earliest convenience. She was so sweet and very affordable, only thing is she prefers cash so dont forget to run to an ATM before picking up. Absolutely recommend this place! read more

Joy has always been reliable and truly is an artist when it comes to alterations. We have been going to her for years and has never let us down. I have even taken morale patches to have her sew Velcro onto them, and they come out looking better than the store-bought ones. Pants are hemmed to look like they came off of the rack. I have several shirts that she has made into slim fit and they look awesome. read more

Did exactly wants I needed and was fast! For sure recommend them. Had to pay extra for the rush delivery but they had it done the next day. Thank you! read more

We have been bringing all sorts of projects here over the years and have always been impressed with the quality of the prompt service. I highly recommend Agape to anyone with clothing in need of alterations. The owner is an incredibly talented and kind person with impeccable reliability, and a down to earth attitude. We have entrusted her with challenging alterations to expensive pieces and the results have always been better than I've imagined. Don't hesitate to make a longer trip for a seamstress of this caliber. Note: She also has curbside service and makes high quality, fitted reusable masks, so if you are in need and want to support a local business Agape gets my vote. read more

I love this place! Quality professional work and excellent customer service. This place is a keeper!

Hot has always been so sweet and does really great work. I have a vintage Christian door shawl lapel tuxedo that had been sized twice before, and after the last place did such a terrible job I was really worried it wouldn't be able to be resized again because they left such sporadic amounts of fabric that wasn't even cut cleanly. But Joy got it fitting perfectly again and, as it should be, you can't tell it was ever altered. She's also fitted a suit for me in just 2 days when I had to go to a funeral. Joy is the best! read more

Joy is a solid professional and helped take measurements for me. Additionally, I got a dress shirt altered from her, and though she did the job well, I was surprised at the price charged for one shirt alterations, at $40. I would pay $15 from where I used to get dress shirts altered. Be careful of the pricing. read more

Great service!! Great attitudes!!! I have tried a few others in SA but none can compare to Agape.

Very responsive and communicative; unfortunately the work was pretty basic and for the price, ($$$ for a hem) - I would say steer clear.

My clothes came out perfect. She is so sweet!!! Amazing turn around time compared to others. Professional!

She did a phenomenal job on my wedding dress and my now husbands suit for the wedding!!! She was so kind and quick and does phenomenal work!!! read more

Got my bridesmaid dress fixed here. The owner was super sweet and made me feel comfortable working with her! We ended up having to add to my dress to make it bigger and hemming the bottom.. it turned out to be a little over $100, which is what I was expecting to pay. Fast turn around time too. I'd come here again! read more

Just picked up my items and I'm so impressed! I was worried since I was getting a saree altered and it has such intricate lace on it but you can't tell it was altered at all. The size is also perfect, as if it was made just for me (: Joy was incredibly nice and even though it had been a minute since I had dropped it off, she remembered me and my outfits as soon as I walked in. I'd like to add I think she went above and beyond! When I was on my way to drop off the things I wanted altered I hadn't realized she closes at 4 on Saturday, I called and told her I was heading that way even though it was 4:15 and she had no problem waiting for me and staying open!Would definitely come back if I need anything else fixed. read more

I had my Maid of Honor dress altered here and the turn out was GREAT!! Professional work, with a 1 week turn around time. Joy was kind and honest about fit and style, with a reasonable price. Everything fit perfectly and i would definitely come here again for all my alteration needs!!! read more
